COMMENT BY MR CHRIS HOBBS, AN EX- BRITISH POLICE OFFICER ABOUT “BE A BEACON OF HOPE IN THE WORLD: A MESSAGE TO YOUNG BRITAIN":
“I think your book is excellent. In an ideal world, that book should be given to every head-teacher in the country. If I were a head I'd pick three messages every week and display them prominently, say in the entrance and /or assembly hall so every pupil could see them.
Congratulations.
Chris”
Our planet is warming very fast
With grave consequences
Wreaking havoc of unimaginable proportions.
The wild is in a fit of convulsion
And the rainforests are vanishing fast with frightening rapidity
Pushing species of wild flora and fauna to the brink of extinction.
In confusion, some are running round the globe aimlessly
As our earth in permanent chaos is about to burst into flames.
How come everyone
Has suddenly turned into a volcano
Erupting at the slightest touch,
Barking at one another on the tube
Like the Alsatian bulldog
And behaving like a cat and a dog?

By Husam Dughman
The recent release of the movie Elvis has generated yet again numerous discussions about that singer, his songs, and the contributions he made to the world of popular music. Given that the film focuses not only on Elvis’s career but also on his interaction with black Americans and their music, people seem once again to split up into two broad groups, with diametrically opposite views: The first consists of people who praise Elvis and acknowledge his contribution to helping black music and, by extension, black people become gradually accepted by members of a white society that up until that point had been hostile to- or at best uninterested in- their black fellow Americans. The other group is made up of people who criticize Elvis for “stealing” black music and presenting it as his own. Those critics claim that due to racism and the resulting state of segregation and oppression imposed on black Americans by white Americans at that time, black singers were not given the chance to succeed, and that- so the argument goes- provided a great opportunity for Elvis to “appropriate” black music. Some of those have gone so far as to accuse Elvis of racism. More recently, in the song Fight The Power, Public Enemy says of Elvis, “Straight up racist that sucker was, simple and plain”. So, was Elvis really a racist? And did he steal black music?

NIGERIA: A COUNTRY POLLUTED WITH BLOOD
PREFACTORY STATEMENT
Excellency, ….” security gives way to conspiracy.”
IGP Usman Alkali Baba. In all honesty, in the fight against terror in Nigeria, if Baba and his team are equipped to international standards, they can rid the nation and all West Africa of Islamist terrorists in a jiffy. The nation has tried all else and failed, she must now therefore, swallow up her gargantuan pride and invite the USA, UK, France, Israel, Canada, Australia and all ECOWAS to help her in this now protracted war on terror so as to rid our nation of the children of blood and merchants of death. Thus far, all the nation's good-for-nothing security chiefs have been doing in the last 7 (+) years is to compete for who sits on the right hand side of the C-in-C, stealing money meant for fighting terror and other crimes in our Nigeria, whilst leaning their heads on his shoulder to kiss him and be fragranced by him!
And in the fight against terror and other crimes in our Nigeria, six things are wrong, viz:
INTELIGENCE, INTELLIGENCE, INTELLIGENCE
BORDER POROSITY, BORDER POROSITY, BORDER POROSITY!
SERIES 2
THE SERIALIZATION OF THE CRIMEBUSTER
As promised, we have as our patriotic response to the ever-worsening security situation in Nigeria, ECOWAS, Africa and in the world started the serialization of my new book “The Crimebuster: A Handbook of Policing” still in manuscript for the global policing, security, and defence community, particularly the Nigerian security agencies.
In the book the author has brought to bear his 17 years of extensive experience in international security, hoping it would help to enrich and arm the global security community with the most effective way of policing, especially in multi-cultural, multi-lingual, and multi-racial polities.
It is thus expected that all the Security Chiefs in Nigeria, and those in the nations, including their officers in the frontline would avail themselves the opportunities this vision/project offers in the enrichment of effective and strategic policing skills in the frontline and in the expansion of the policing knowledge frontiers, offering as it were, useful insight into the root causes of crimes in tandem with economies on the wheels in the nations of the world, particularly in Nigeria, and by extension, Africa, Asia, Europe and in the Americas.

When I got an invite recently from my sister and friend, Ms Monalisa Chukwuma, a Doctoral research student at Goldsmiths, University of London to attend the screening of her great film entitled: Portrait of an Unknown Woman, little did I know that I would be pleasantly surprised to find the ubiquitous presence of young people moving up and down on its campus at Lewisham, London, England, United Kingdom.
On seeing the pervasive presence of the students of St. Matthew Academy, Lewisham, after having been directed by a gentle man to the main building of the university, I became confused and began to ask myself if I was in the right place as that day, the 12th of June was indeed, my first time of visiting the campus of Goldsmiths, University of London.
As I made my way from the Reception to the Curzon Cinema Hall, my confusion was the more evident at the sight of more students whom I was to learn later were students of St. Matthew Academy, Lewisham, England United Kingdom as I made my way thereto.

RUBBISH, RUBBISH, RUBBISH EVERYWHERE AND NO JANITOR TO COLLECT THEM!
In this day and age when viruses have taken over the global atmosphere, coming one after another to torment mankind, the senior official of the Nigeria Low Commission didn’t just bother as he carried on attending to his compatriots as if the rubbish he was standing by were objects of decorations or the solutions Nigeria needed to liberate herself from her present mess nor did he pause to think both himself and his compatriots could catch Covid or other dangerous viruses by standing so, so close to the rubbish.

TOWARDS A GLOBAL MORAL REVOLUTION
“The Federal Government of Nigeria must ensure BE A BEACON OF HOPE IN THE WORLD…is in the hands of every Nigerian youngster in schools, colleges, academies and in the universities to address the prevailing zero morality amongst this generation of young people in Nigeria, some of whom are now into various crimes, terrorising the Nigerian people and the world.”

Series: Why Not the Best?
In continuation of his discourse/treatise on Adumaean Arithmetic of Politics (AAP), JOHN ODEY ADUMA laments that when all the world was expecting Nigeria to showcase the best of the best of her political ‘products’ this time round – men and women of unimpeachable integrity, visionaries, dreamers, philosophers, reformers, purpose-driven with revolutionary ideas and ideologically inclined, altruistic men and women, men of truth and not of disinformation, men and women with unalloyed patriotism, never known to have engaged in any form of unNigerian loyalty, men and women who are not lovers of money and of themselves nor given to acquisitiveness, bestial and unbridled dissipated lifestyle; all the world was again as in the past disappointed that at the ‘global exhibition’ of the nations best of the best, Nigeria’s best of the best ‘products’ showcased during that ‘international exhibition’ were Atiku Abubakar and Bola Ahmed Tinubu, two most crooked and rotten men in Nigeria, whose motto and slogan is: MONEY IS THE MEASURE OF VALUE - both of them without character, without honour and integrity, whom in every respect, worms and vultures would be more highly rated than them in any integrity test/contest.
THE SERIALIZATION OF THE CRIMEBUSTER BY JOHN ODEY ADUMA, AUTHOR OF "BE A BEACON OF HOPE IN THE WORLD: A MESSAGE TO YOUNG BRITAIN"
As from next week, we shall as our patriotic response to the ever-worsening security situation in Nigeria, ECOWAS, Africa and in the world start the serialization of my new book The Crimebuster still in manuscript for the global policing, security, and defence community, particularly the Nigerian security agencies.
YOUNG PEOPLE: The Platform for those to whom the Future Belongs
John Odey Aduma, Author of "Be A Beacon of Hope in the World: A Message to Young Britain"
Of late, like most people in the world, excepting Mr Vladmir Putin, you must have been worried and anxious about the spectre of war looming large over Ukraine. And so, the global media platforms are abuzz with propaganda and war drums.
By Husam Dughman
Over the past week, many people from all over the world have been reacting to the faux pas made by George W. Bush when he confused Ukraine with Iraq. This is not the first time a US president confused Ukraine with another country. A couple of months ago, US president Joe Biden said, “….but he [Putin] will never gain the hearts and souls of the Iranian people.” An embarrassing blunder, admittedly, but nowhere near as mortifying as Bush’s. In a speech delivered at the George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas, Bush talked about how the Russian elections were rigged and how the political opponents of Vladimir Putin’s were not allowed to take part in those elections. He then said, “……the decision of one man to launch a wholly unjustified and brutal invasion of Iraq…Uuuuuh…..I mean of Ukraine….Huh….Iraq, too…. Anyway…. Seventy five.”

TOWARDS PASTORALISTS SEDENTARISM: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN - AN EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
THE LAND GRABBERS’ LAST-MINUTE RUSH: MB, stop these rampaging and very desperate land grabbers prowling all over Nigeria now!
Because I have spent the last 33 years of my life repeating myself over and over on the self-same subject matter, this Idiot’s Guide of mine will here be presented in a form of EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR THE BLAH, BLAH, BLAH GENERAL:
THE NATIONAL RETAIL CALENDAR AND THE NATIONAL RETAIL ECONOMY IN NIGERIA
Can the Office for National Statistics of Nigeria (ONSON) tell the nation where we are presently in the national retail economy regarding the above NATIONAL RETAIL CALENDAR (NRC), and in comparison, with the global retail calendar and economy, including the above microeconomies?
OCCUPY THEIR MINDS WITH SERIOUS THINGS WHILST TO ALL THE NIGERIAN & WORLD YOUTH, I SAY: OCCUPY YOUR MINDS WITH POSITIVE THINGS
The Greeks of yore were wont to be advising their young ones thus, with the African saying: KNOW THYSELF (not Socratic please), in addition to asking them to: OCCUPY YOUR MIND WITH SERIOUS THINGS. In like manner the nation must henceforth begin to occupy the minds of her children and youngsters with SERIOUS THINGS if we are to get out of our current insecurity and all other mess facing her right now.
And if you want to stop banditry and all forms of terrorism, STOP THEIR FLOW STATIONS/SOURCES OF SUPPLY. Then engage them!
WHAT WILL SISTER DUBAI BE REMEMBERED FOR?
Lest I forget, what will MAMA YUSUF be remembered for, better still, how does she want to be remembered? Has sister Dubai like an evil hen in an African village just been laying eggs all over the place these past seven years or she will want history, the Nigerian people, the world, and posterity to remember her as a mere Jack/ress of all trades and master of none? Whoever stole the words: CONCENTRATION AND CONSOLIDATION from her dictionary?
Perhaps, like her husband, hers too will be regarded as THE EIGHT WASTED YEARS?
Maybe some Nigerians out there will remember her as THE SCREAMIING LADY OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA (SLOFRON) or THE DUBAI PARY ORGANIZER (DPO) or the DUBAI PARTYGOER or simply as THE SHOPPERHOLIC?
Again, just how will MAMA DUBAI be remembered and for what? Simply as MAMA DUBAI?
A MESSAGE TO THE NORTH: LET THEM GO TO SCHOOL OR GO AND PLANT TREES TO HALT DESERTIFICATION OR GO AND LEARN HANDWORK OR GO AND FILL POTHOLES INSTEAD OF TERRORISM AND BANDITRY
In particular, let all Nigerian youths in the North, almajirai included, who cannot proceed to the university, go and learn a trade like their counterparts in the South. Truth is that 99.9% of the trades/handwork in Northern Nigeria are done by the Southerners, that is why even Ardo Bayero, the late emir of Kano whilst he was still alive, whenever all Ndigbo and all South closed their shops during crises – be they political or religious, the entire North would be grounded. Once the effects of that closure began to bite very hard, the emir would be everywhere begging Ndigbo and all South to come out and open their shops for people to buy food stuff and enjoy essential services once more.
TIME FOR NORTH TO SHINE THEIR EYES in the area of apprenticeships, vocational and life skill’s acquisition such as mechanics, electricians, plumbers, gardeners, bicycle and bike repairers, watch repairers, radionics, bricklayers, carpenters, painters, hairdressers, cobblers, pedicures, manicures, hair dressers, etc., etc.
What is more, let GUMINESTY’S FOREST BOYS and all the members of the BUHARI BRIGADE (BB) put down their guns and then go and learn trade/handwork or plant trees or embrace MODERN EDUCATION (not Western education as there ought not to be such a thing as it is not only the Western world that have contributed to knowledge and learning from the earliest times when man began to settle down till now – the term WESTERN EDUCATION therefore is a misnomer, hence my coinage MODERN EDUCATION or UNIVERSAL or GLOBAL EDUCATION or GLOBAL OR UNIVERSAL LEARNING/KNOWLEDGE) if they want to be competitive.
ORATURE: IN SEARCH OF COMMERCIAL STORY TELLERS AND POETS IN NIGERIA
But why have we abandoned the art of storytelling in modern Nigeria when before the modern writing art, this was one of the countless number of ways we kept records and transmitted information and history, whether micro or macro history? By this writer’s reckoning, this untapped industry could be worth trillions of pounds annually if well explored using stories to open all events including weddings, telling stories in marketplaces, on buses, trains, and other socio-politico-econo-cultural intercourses, including travelling band of storytellers, solo storytellers, having stories in songs or embedded in songs, etc.
What is more, having stories in writing form, oral, audio-visual, audio, on all the social media platforms, having them on DVDs, CDs, kindles, etc., etc.
Henceforth, Governments, blue-chip companies, individuals, groups, organizations should start featuring storytellers and poets as apart from promoting indigenous cultures and perpetuating them for posterity, it will go a long way in jobs and wealth creation. In trying to solve unemployment problems in Nigeria, thinking outside the box is here highly recommended – and there are many talents out there. What is more, there isn’t a Nigerian/human being out there without at least a talent by which they can earn their daily bread without having to depend on the government or anyone else in society.
ARE BANDITS MUHAMMADU BUHARI’S CLOSE ‘PROTECTION OFFICERS’ OR HIS REAL ATTACK DOGS?
Study their modus operandi of striking – whenever anybody, group/organization/institution or Geoplolizone criticize/s MB or his Government– see how they go to work. Since there are no longer security agencies in that country, I call on fellow Nigerians to study their pattern of attacks?
It is verry sad, yet ridiculous that in Nigeria, the security agencies do not arrest bandits, terrorists and other violent people or criminals, rather it is bandits who (now) arrest every Nigerian and take them into captivity to be imprisoned nor do honest people in Nigeria arrest criminals (?), not even doing citizen arrest, but it is the self-same bandits and other criminal elements, both local and aliens that (now) arrest honest people – abduct and kidnap them for ransoms.
But when a three-member band of bandits get a ransom of $800, 000, 000.00, from their victims’ agents or relatives, where do they bank this Ogbonge money – inside the ANT HILL OF THE SAVANNA BANK, of course?!
And it is also a truism that bandits are aliens from far off Jupiter, they never fall sick, they never go to hospitals when injured during a face off with the security fifle nor do they go to markets nor live amongst people
Nigeria, we hail thee!

Good morning, fellow Nigerians and all friends of Nigeria, worldwide!
THE BLURB
Why does one youngster stab another with a knife which they will never, ever dare to stab themselves with? Why are our young people killing themselves without thinking of the pains and sorrow such barbarism and bestiality will leave their loved ones with for the rest of their lives? Why do some young persons - members of the same community prey on one another with such jungle-like ferocity in the nation’s cities? Why, why are there now so many of such gruesome, purposeless, wicked and unwarranted killings in the nation’s cities as if Britain is now a land that devours its children? More worrisome is the fact that when they are hacked to death so young, what happens to their dreams, visions, goals and aspirations?
Heart-rending as these painful questions are, Be A Beacon of Hope in the World: A Message to Young Britain does not attempt to offer answers to these puzzles arising from the untimely deaths of Britain’s children through knifings. However, it seeks to act as a guidepost, compass and a Sat Nav to point young persons in the direction of the good way and on the path of civility, decency, common sense, humaneness and universal altruism, whereupon they are expected to have respect, first for themselves, for others and for all of life’s forms. Therefore, let the alarm bell which this book has triggered off to warn all young persons in Britain and the world over that to live in the fast lane is to die young, reverberate through the vista of time.
Enter, Bob Marley singing:
…..everywhere is war
Me say war
War in the east
War in the west
War up north
War down south
War – war…
